The nuclear deal with Iran stipulates that any of the signatory countries - the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany - can at any stage request an automatic return of sanctions on Iran if it thinks it has violated the agreement. Under the agreement such a requirement cannot be vetoed.
Russia and China argue that the United States cannot request the activation of the sanctions renewal mechanism because it has announced its withdrawal from the nuclear deal and thus waived its right to do so. The Americans, on the other hand, argue that the right to demand an automatic reversal of sanctions on Iran is granted to them by virtue of the fact that they are still a signatory to the Security Council resolution, which adopted the nuclear deal and the snapback mechanism.
